In the composing room there was the

There were great screens back of the

floors are stone. Everywhere excessive

ONE OF THE ROOMS.

The room where was received was
lnrgc and high, lighted by two great win
lows devoid Of drapery The walls were d
dull yellow gray, with one picture hanging
thereon. This was of Bull Run Russell, the
Times famous special correspondent. The
picture must have been painted many
years ago, as 1t is quite dimmed With age
and coal SCOT. Itghangs directly over the
heayy, dark, wooden n1antel, underneath
which glowed and snapped bright, open,
soft coal fire. There were half a. dozen
very heavy mahogany chairs in the room,
upholstered in dark green leather. One
chair had mahogany writing leaf on its
arm. The desk of the manager, in the
center, was very plain and contained but
few papers. Back of it aung a great
white chart of the construed IN of sentences
IN tire French language. 10 the right Of
the desk was broad, luxurious lightgray-
green chintz covered sofa, large enough
and wide enough to rest the Cardiff giant.
In the corner beyond this, was plain,
handsome dark book case, with glass doors.
This case was filed with works of refer
ence only. The carpet was dark, dull
red. The room was almost severe in its
simplicity, and yet it seemed thoroughly
complete and satisfactory.
DIR. Mcdonald, the manager, received
me with cordiality that is unusual for q
Publisher to show to visitor who calls
during working hours. He gave me more
time than the president of the United
States could reasonably hope to obtain
from a New York editor, If he sought a
consultation with him during working
hours. DIR. Mcdonald personally showed
me through The Times establishment in
stead OF turning me over to the tender
mercies OF messenger. do not propose
to give q detailed description Of the
mechanism Of this publication Office, but
merely to note few things that struck
my mind. In the first place the editorial
rooms would interest most American
newspaper men. Every prominent writer
on the paper had large room to himself,
furnished in the same style Of solid com
fort and simplicity as the managers Office
In each room sparkled an open fire. In
each there was a library of reference, In
this monkish solitude, in front Of glow
ing fire, with his books and papers about
him, guarded against any possible intru-
sion, If ever writer should be inspired to
do good work he surely would be In such
surroundings. But these writers are not
permitted to select their own subjects.
They are given their subjects andstold how
to treat them by the manager. The rest
Is mere matter of literary gymnastics.

that the programme OF the National

but he points out that afterward he saw

Here's q How de do.

DOVER, Nh, December 27.-Dr. w
w. Weber stated, to-day, that the
claim of his father, William Weber, as
one of the heirs to plot of land sixty
six acres in extent, located 10 New
York City, south of Canal Street, has
been proven. The said plot, now stud
ded with massive blocks of buildings,
was bought in 1856 by Wilired Weber,
OF Holland, who settled on Manhattan
Island short time previous In 1914
Weber leased the land TO q kinsman,
Wilfred Weber, for 200 years. DR.
Weber's father is of the seventh gen
GRAFTON of Weber senior, who originally
owned the land. On the expiration of
the lease in 1874 the land naturally re-
verted to the descendants of the original
Wiifred Weber, and for few years
past William Weber and other descend
ants have been busily engaged in prov
ing they were the direct descendants
of the first owner. Now that it is
proven, there will be a meeting of the
heirs in New York on January 20th, to
complete arrangements for getting
possession. The property is valued at
